Pieropan 'Calvarino' Soave Classico 2021

Calvarino is situated in the heart of the Soave Classico zone and is the ancient cornerstone of the Pieropan family’s vineyards, bought in 1901. The name derives from ‘Little Calvary’ referring to the difficulties in working the land and the tortuously winding path to the bottom. It has basalt soil that is typical in this part of Soave and is planted with Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave. The first label was released as far back as 1971 and the wine is a perfect example of true Soave. Both grape varieties were harvested by hand to ensure only the fruit in pristine condition is vinified. Once at the winery, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed in a protective environment. The free-run juice was then fermented in glass-lined cement tanks. Post fermentation, the wine was aged on the fine lees for around 12-15 months to add texture and complexity. It was then aged further in bottle until its release. The Pieropan 'Calvarino' Soave Classico is pale straw yellow in colour. On the nose are lifted aromas of lemon, cherry and elderflower. The palate is dry, beautifully balanced and elegant, with tremendous finesse and a persistent finish.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
